Trivia!

Hey Guys,
I'm sorry for not blogging, I tried to, but my computer won't let me. I just managed roughly now. Like I said, my computer has been acting sooo strangely! I'm trying to mend it. I hope it will be mended soon.

Anyway, I prepared a trivia on the subject : Nature
I bet you guys didn't know any of these things!

The Earth's plates move between 2-20 cm (0.75-7.75 in) per year- the rate which fingernails grow

From the ground, the Earth's surface may look bumpy, but if the Earth was reduced to a 1 m ball, Mt. Everest would look like a pimple no more than 0.69 mm high!

The Earth is not the only object which has earthquakes, the moon does too! These are called "Moonquakes".

The Caspian Sea was once a sea. (It is a lake now) It was cut off from the Mediterranean sea during the last Ice Age.

More people drown in deserts than die of thirst! When rain suddenly falls, dry river-beds can turn into gushing rivers in just a few minutes.

You can predict rain with a piece of seaweed- Hang it outside. If it feels sticky, rain is on the way.

The squirting cucumber spreads seeds by exploding under high pressure, showering seeds.

The most valuable fungus is the White Truffle. It is 5 times more expensive than silver!

The name volcano comes from "Vulcan", the Roman god of fire and metalwork.

Around 30 per cent of the Earth's land surface is forested.

Wasn't that a whizz? Just remember this: The more we know, the more we grow! Be sure to comment about your likes, hates, tips, tricks, ratings, bloopers and anything else. If I get enough positive responses, I'll continue trivias like this quite often on other subjects.

Oooh... clickables!
